D.C. Metro Bomb Suspect Aimed to Be Martyr
(AP-Washington Times) Pakistani-born Farooque Ahmed was trying to enlist in a terrorist organization in January and was eager to become a martyr when he unknowingly walked into an FBI sting and began plotting to kill commuters on the nation's second-busiest subway system, according to court documents. Ahmed, 34, of Ashburn, Va., was caught on FBI surveillance video discussing his firearm, martial-arts and knife skills and offering to teach those deadly tactics to others, according to an FBI affidavit unsealed Thursday.
